Poster Competition Eligibility
Authors must be a resident or fellow enrolled in a full-time approved training program in pathology or sub-specialty of pathology in the state of Florida to be eligible to participate in the FSP Poster Competition.

Poster Competition Presentation Process and Awards
Posters submitted for the Poster Competition will be pre-screened for eligibility and then subjected to pre-judging by a panel of FSP judges to select the top 48 to proceed to oral presentation and second judging cycle during the meeting. The first judging will be done before the conference, and it will be a blind review. Lead authors will be contacted by email; in select cases, judges may recommend minor changes to posters prior to presentation. Posters accepted during prescreening but not selected for the Poster Competition will still be displayed but not eligible for oral presentation and prizes. The second judging will be conducted during the live poster presentation at the conference in the FSP Poster Hall, and the resident/fellow must be present to do oral presentation at designated time. The scores from both judging sessions will be combined to determine the winners. The first-place winner will receive $500, the second-place winner will receive $250, and the third-place winner will receive $150. To be considered for the competition, you must be a resident or fellow and you must submit your poster by the submission deadline.

Below are the major criteria in the prejudging cycle:

  • Significance of research or case report
  • Strength and appropriateness of methods
  • Validity of Conclusions
  • Quality of writing and visual presentation (figures, tables, images)

During onsite judging, presenters are also scored on their presentation abilities, explanation of research/case report and conclusions, and ability to answer questions and interact with judge.

Onsite judging times will be assigned for residents and fellows that are participating in the Poster Competition, and authors will be notified of their presentation time. Presentation times will occur on Saturday, February 15 so please make plans to be available on this day. All lead poster authors are required to register for the conference taking place on February 14-16, 2025 at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort in Orlando to present their poster to judges

Winners of the Poster Competition will be announced, and prizes will be awarded on Saturday, February 15.

Resident Jeopardy

Join us for the 2nd Annual FSP Resident Jeopardy on Saturday, February 15 from 3:30-4:30 pm in conjunction with the FSP Annual Pathology Conference at Disney’s Grand Floridian.

The goal of the Resident Jeopardy is to:

  • Provide an event where residents can interact;
  • Gain "bragging rights" for the year by taking the FSP Jeopardy Championship trophy home with your team;
  • But most of all, have FUN!

The FSP invites all pathology residency programs in the state of Florida to submit a team for the Resident Jeopardy competition. Each team can have up to 4 members, and we would like to encourage residents from all levels of the training program to be represented on the team. The FSP will award the winning residency program team a “traveling” trophy at the conclusion of the game to keep at your program for the year until the next FSP annual meeting. Teams are encouraged to show their enthusiasm with a team name, team logo, matching t-shirts, hats, etc.
